Criminal trial has recently been focusing on scientific evidence: in particular, DNA evidence ensures reliable results. Peculiarities of this evidence cause a discussion in the search for a balance between individual guarantees and efficiency of criminal justice. This is regulated by Italian Law 85/2009, following the Treaty of Prüm. There are four main critical aspects related to this legislation. 1) Coercive nature of the DNA sample. 2) Individuals whose DNA samples are taken from. 3) Privacy. 4) Reopening of the trial after definitive judgment.
